But, you can't edit or delete old posts NOW. I'm noticing this with a few online forums, there isn't a way to delete your own account at ALL. Seems very odd to me that.

And yes, I am doing a bit of cyberspace clean up right now. I spend too much time online so along with cancelling my internet connection at home I'm thinking about deleting a few accounts. I'd at least like the option to do so myself which seems reasonable to me but apparently I'm wrong about that .

Oh, and I did send a message to the modsquad but I'm under the impression that we don't actually have an active admin here to do such a thing.

Would anyone be interested in a thread about aging? Both personal observations about our changing bodies and minds, and societal views of it?

Choosing to use products vs not using them - or not being able to afford them and using homemade stuff. Teenagehood versus Adulthood and Senior years, different types of ageism, sagging, looking at our grandparents, or our kids.

Just a clearing house for different thoughts and feelings and practical body/mind tips about it.

thanks for the link pepper that was hilarious. You could always repost it in the white privledge thread if it is still around these parts. If I had my shit together I would post a link, but alas. my shit is not together. Need more coffee.

It's amazing who you'll make friends with when no one else is around to choose from. Not that they aren't lovely people in their own right but I've got a group of friends with whom I share next to nothing aside from same aged children. In "real life" we wouldn't even be acquaintances, these women and I. But I guess this is my new real life. Until I move back to civilization anyhow.

Oh, trust me, I can empathize completely with the intarwebs being a connection to the outside world. I have almost nothing in common with the people here in my little corner of the sticks & don't do much socializing, which is really hard for me. Honestly, I don't even really much like the few people here that I consider myself friendly with. It's depressing. Seriously, if I couldn't reach out & poke my friends back home & the Bgirls online? Shit would have gotten drastic by now.

It's fucking up my attempts to have a website and maybe get my crafty shit online too, every little thing takes an hour. Never mind the mental malady of being stuck in the boons with barely any outside adult contact beyond my lame dead slow internet connection. I don't know how I'm not losing my shit, honestly. Thanks for the sympathy, it really is crap.

It's so sad, I could just freaking CRY! I live in one of the only hold-outs to DS, no freaking kidding! And get this, I can't even get that wireless cellphone related stick because my house is Too Close to the tower! We miss the signal due to some sort of umbrella effect, AARRGGG!!! and a satalite is $400 bucks to install. And no cable internet out here at all. WAH!It's a major factor in wanting to move, let me tell you. Can I really give up teh fenced in backyard and being 4 blocks from the beach because I want a faster internet connection though? I'm more than a little tempted...
